SUSANNA Reid has been hailed a “credit” to journalism for her “compassionate” coverage of the Manchester terror attacks on Good Morning Britain.

Fans of the ITV breakfast show today took to Twitter to praise her interview style after she spoke to Kim and Phil, a Bradford couple who helped bring youngsters to safety after the Manchester Arena bomb on Monday night.

Yesterday, the GMB camera panned away from the presenter as she dabbed away tears during an emotional interview with mum Charlotte Campbell – whose daughter Olivia, 15, has since been confirmed as another of those killed by the bomber.

Fans took to Twitter to heap praise on the TV star with one posting: “Wonderfully handled this morning a credit to your profession.”

Another added: “Susanna you are so compassionate and that is so good to see and carry on being emotional you are human and it DOES help families xxxxx.”

A third put: “Well done @susannareid100@GMB don’t know how you kept it together then, your voice shaking set off my tears,” while a fourth put: “So heart breaking to watch, @susannareid100 I hope your ok I can hear your struggling just like many of us.”

GMB viewers quickly took to Twitter to share their sorrow, with one writing: “#OliviaCampbell I kept thinking about this girl after hearing her desperate mum on #GMB yesterday. Absolutely heartbreaking.”

Another posted: “I’m crying watching you two bring us the sad news on Olivia.. must be so hard for you two to not to cry” while a third put: “Obviously it would be, but such compassionate reporting by @susannareid100 and @piersmorgan sharing everyone’s heartache @GMB.”
